Anne Hathaway has always known how to make an entrance, and she proved it once again on May 3 at the pre-Met Gala soirée hosted by Donatella Versace in New York City. The Devil Wears Prada star turned heads in a sculptural, tailored Versace suit that offered a flawless interpretation of the 2025 Met Gala theme: “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

Long before stepping onto the iconic Met steps, Hathaway made a statement that secured her place as one of this year’s must-watch fashion figures. Her Versace ensemble—a structured oversized blazer with sharp, sculpted shoulders and a pair of sleek, ankle-grazing trousers—was a masterclass in modern tailoring. A crisp white shirt worn slightly unbuttoned under the jacket added a touch of effortless elegance. Gold details like a pocket accent, a subtle embroidered logo at the wrist, and metallic gold-tinged heels elevated the outfit with sophistication. A mesh gold handbag adorned with chain embellishments completed the look, while oversized sunglasses gave her that signature Hollywood edge.

The 2025 Met Gala, set for May 5, is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year. Centered around the celebration of Black dandyism and the art of tailoring, the theme explores elegance, history, and reimagined masculinity in fashion. Hathaway’s look embodies these values, balancing power and refinement with ease.

Joining Anna Wintour in hosting this year’s gala are a formidable group of co-chairs: Pharrell Williams, returning for a second time, actor and style icon Colman Domingo, Formula 1 driver and fashion trendsetter Lewis Hamilton, and global music star A$AP Rocky. Adding to the excitement, NBA legend LeBron James will serve as honorary chair for the first time, bringing his signature blend of athletic legacy and personal style to the event.

While the official dress code will be unveiled in early 2025, early appearances like Hathaway’s suggest we can expect stunning silhouettes, impeccable tailoring, and fashion moments rooted in cultural depth and creativity.

One thing’s for sure—if her pre-Gala look is any indication, Anne Hathaway is poised to be one of the night’s best-dressed stars. After skipping last year’s event, her return promises to be nothing short of iconic.
